The committee plays a key role in advocacy, supporting optometrists in navigating NHS contracts and funding, while also ensuring they receive appropriate recognition and support for the services they provide. Oxfordshire LOC also helps organize professional development opportunities, including training and CPD events, to keep optometrists up to date with the latest clinical practices and regulations.

Additionally, Oxfordshire LOC fosters collaboration between optometrists, GPs, and other healthcare providers to improve patient care and access to services. The committee is also a vital channel for communicating changes in healthcare policies, while gathering feedback from local optometrists to influence improvements within the sector.

Through its work, Oxfordshire LOC ensures that optometrists in the area are well-supported, informed, and able to deliver high-quality care to their patients.
